What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this is the group hand-picked by Diddy in MTV's Making the Band 3. That means they are not accurate representatives of the normal female population and their vocal talent takes back seat. There's lots of sexual innuendo, heavy breathing, and some bad girl talk, but most of the language stays fairly clean.
What's the story?
This is the sophomore follow-up to the platinum selling self-titled debut of the five-girl band. Produced by Diddy, it features a single from the Step Up 2: The Streets Soundtrack and a guest rap session by Missy Elliott on "Bad Girl."
Is it any good?
WELLCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE might be marketed as sexy dance music, but there's more than just dancing going on in the minds of these girls. The belly-baring, extension-wearing ladies of Danity Kane do possess some vocal talent -- and some of it even manages to shine through the sexual innuendo, heavy dance beats, and talk of being addicted to or needing a man. The first two tracks are the best musically: "Bad Girl" with its very iffy subject matter is upbeat, and "Damaged" is catchy, but with borderline lame lyrics ("Do you got a first aid kit handy?/Do you know how to patch up a wound?"). After that, it pretty much goes stagnant, with repetitive haughty harmonies, ordinary hip-hop beats, and some more heavy breathing. Diddy may have been trying to recreate another En Vogue or Destiny's Child, but he ended up with a wannabe Pussycat Dolls.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about Making the Band as a concept. Do you think the show makes Danity Kane more successful because they're promoted so heavily on TV? Do you think fans prefer real or "homegrown" groups, as opposed to those who are hand-picked, primped, and put together by some big shots at a record company?

Another tv reality group that's trying
This band has been out since 2005, and they've only had two hits. This because they suck. Girls Aloud are better then these guys. Plus they have had 18 hits.(no offense)

AGE
Not just 2 of you- 5 of you!
Sexual Content: Iffy. Lots of sexy innuedo throughout the album. Including "My filling is good enough to eat", a song about a striptease, "When the red light comes on I transform", "Keep you cuming all night long", "Turn off the lights and see if u wanna get into my dark side",and "Show u how to push up on a pretty boy." Violence: Not an issue. Language: One mention of bullshhh. Social Behaviour: Not an issue. Commercialism: Maybeline, fendi, ect. Iffy. Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco: Not an issue.
Great album. Bit of sex. Pause for 12+. Thats a good age :) Best songs are Bad Girl, Damaged, Striptease, Sucka for Love, 2 of You, Light's Out, and Poetry. :D
